From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ab Malakh waterfalls (Persian: آبشار آب ملخ)[a] are a set of waterfalls near the village of Ab Malakh in Padena-ye Sofla Rural District of Padena District in Semirom County, Isfahan province, Iran. According to local legend, the waterfalls have water that can be used to kill locusts due to the chemical contents of the water.
The waterfalls are also known as Takht-e Soleiman, or "the seat of Soleiman."[5][4] The waterfall overflows into the Ab Malakh river at both ends of a tunnel through which the river flows.[6][7] The waterfall was reported to be threatened by local development in 2014.[8]
